Above, Jon Stewart discusses the Democratic Party “vote” on changing the party platform to include language on Jerusalem. Below, the Republican Jewish Coalition hasn’t wasted any time trying to capitalize off the embarrassment:

Obviously, it’s a risky game — but I don’t think something this obscure and already so well-trodden is going to cost the Democrats all that many votes.
On the other hand, it is (thanks to Jon Stewart) going to rub a whole lot of previously unengaged people’s faces into the raw facts of just how pervasive the power of the Israel lobby is.
So it’s kind of like buying a stock option, it’s risky but potentially very profitable. Just so long as Obama wins anyway…
It occurs to me — given his prominence and his monthly or so jabs — Jon Stewart is probably the deadliest enemy the Israel lobby has.
Jon Stewart: “…the tie goes to the prompter.” love it!
In reality, Jon Stewart is super tame on the P-I conflict, but in relation to others in the American media, he looks super progessive. Let’s not be fooled.
But, hey, at least he’s no scumbag, racist like Bill Maher!
Yesterday afternoon NPR reported on the last minute rail roading of Democratic Party Platform language to include God and Jerusalem. This mornings NPR report cited only the God language as the offending issue. God must be pissed. While he/she is being singled out by NPR as offensive, Jerusalem gets a pass because AIPAC cares more about the “Capital of Israel” than they do about God.
